Chapter 196: Lu Jin came to propose
Lin Xiaoman was a little surprised, but it was only one point, although Lu Jin didn't tell her in advance that she would come to propose marriage today, but the two had already discussed the matter of inviting someone to propose marriage after the New Year.
Soon, a group of people came over this side, in addition to Lu Jin, who was walking in front and wearing official robes, and the official mediator who was also wearing official robes, there were also many people with heads and faces in Qingping County.
Further back, it seems that the whole village has come.
Lin Daqiang was sandwiched between these people, and waved at Lin Xiaoman when he was far away.
Lin Xiaoman suddenly became a little shy, and almost didn't turn around and ran back to the yard to close the door again.
Soon, those people arrived at the door of the house, and the official media people sang a series of songs, simply praising Lin Xiaoman as a fairy in the sky and not on the ground.
Because Lin Xiaoman's father and mother are gone, and grandparents are like that again, Lin Youwang should do this family business as an elder.
The eight characters of the two have long been together, and after the family affairs should be done, Lu Jin asked people to bring up the dowry that had been prepared a long time ago, a full thirty-eight, and when they opened it, they could see that it was full of gold, silver and jewelry, and even the five hundred and one silver tickets were filled with a large box, and the villagers couldn't shut up in surprise.
can come up with such a dowry, how greedy is the county commander?
In addition to the 38 dowry gifts, Lu Jin also sent more than 20 nursing homes, just to keep these dowry gifts.
The dowry was sent to the old house, and the nurses also moved in.
The two girls, Xiuyu and Xiuxiang, were not easy to live there, so they moved the cover roll and lived in the west wing of the new house, and it was much more convenient to take care of daily life and food on weekdays.
After he left, Lin Xiaoman's house was full of people, all congratulating Lin Xiaoman on marrying the county magistrate.
Among them, there are also many sour people, who think that Lin Xiaoman, a girl from a farmer's family, is not worthy of such an excellent person as the Lu County Order.
But soon someone sprayed back, what stupid are you talking about? We are Xiaoman, but the emperor is the county lord, and the county lord is not much more than the county order? If you want to talk about Gao Pan, it is also Gao Pan of Lu County, our county lord can take a fancy to him, it is his family that roasts high incense, and the ancestral tomb smokes. ”
Although I want to refute it, this is true, Lin Xiaoman's family background is a little worse, but he is now the county lord, and this identity is not something that the county order can climb.
But he is unwilling, why can Lin Xiaoman live such a life? Can't you have your own daughter?
I wanted to say a few more sour words, but I heard someone say: "Some people, after a few days of full food, they forget who let him eat enough." County Lord, this kind of white-eyed wolf who can't be fed, don't let them farm with you this year. ”
Lin Xiaoman hasn't opened his mouth yet, those people are instigated first, they are cheap and can't look down on others, if they really lose hundreds of taels of life a year because of their cheap mouths, then they really have no place to cry.
Fortunately, Lin Xiaoman didn't mean to deal with them on the spot, he just glanced at them with a smile, but anyone could see the dislike in his eyes.
Those few people who are jealous of their mouths are eager to slap themselves a few times, usually forget about their mouths, why do they still talk cheap in front of the main owner? Lin Xiaoman is not one of those bullying girls in the village, not to mention the identity of the county lord, but not to let them grow new food, they can't find a place to cry.
A few days later, the wedding date was also set, on the twenty-eighth day of the seventh month, when the filial piety period of the sisters and brothers had also passed, and they could get married.
After that, Lu Jin didn't avoid people every time he came to the village, and everyone in the village knew that the county magistrate was a man who took care of his family.
At the beginning of February, another group of exiles came to Qingping County, this time, Lu Jin did not send everyone to Hedong Village, but only sent a few old men who could not be picked up on their shoulders or hands at a glance, and the rest were settled in the county seat.
Just as the people in the village were wondering whether the county magistrate should send these people to care for the elderly, those old men were all arranged to live in the old house of Lin Xiaoman's family.
At the same time, Lin Dawu beat gongs and drums in the village, saying that the village should build a school, and each family can send their children to study in the school, and the children in the village do not spend money to study, and the four treasures of the study and books and papers are also from the village.
If there are children from relatives in other villages who want to study, they can also be sent to the school, but they have to collect 200 Wen Shu per month for repair, and the four treasures of the study room and books and paper also have to pay for themselves.
But compared to the academy in the county, this money is simply not too cheap, and within a few days, the news spread all over Qingping County.
Some relatives who have been related to their relatives or who have turned around and climbed up to their relatives have come to the door, and hundreds of people want to come to study.
So, before the land was cleared and spring ploughing, the village chose a large vacant land and began to build houses.
At this time, there were many idlers, not only the men and women in the village went into battle together, but Lu Jin also sent a lot of people from outside, and in less than half a month, the classroom was built, and there were more than a dozen classrooms, and each classroom could accommodate dozens of people.
When it was time to install windows, Lu Jin sent several carts of glass made by Lin Xiaoman's method during this time, although the glass was turbid and not as clear as the glass of later generations, but the light transmittance and warmth were much stronger than those of paper-paste windows.
I heard that there was glass shipped from Fanbang before, and a palm-sized piece was worth several taels of silver, how much is it worth so big? The county magistrate is not only greedy, but also knows how to benefit the people.
The carpenters were careful when installing the windows, for fear that they would not be able to afford to pay for a piece of damage.
The rest of the glass was sent to Lin Xiaoman's house, and the roof of the greenhouse and the windows left behind were replaced with glass, and the greenhouse was brightened up all of a sudden.
In addition to Lin Xiaoman's own greenhouse, many greenhouses in the village have also changed glass, but these glasses are not free, a piece of glass is a tael of silver, this price can be said to be cheap and unimaginable.
If you have money, you will change a few more dollars, and if you don't have money, you will change a few less, and almost every family will have to change a few dollars.
After that, Lin Xiaoman took all the families to raise seedlings in the greenhouse, and with these seedlings, there was no need to buy seedlings with Lin Xiaoman.
The seedlings sold by Lin Xiaoman's family are not expensive, but this year it is not only the people of Hedong Village who want to plant new vegetables and new grains, but the seedlings raised by Lin Xiaoman's family are definitely not enough.
The villagers are busy raising seedlings, and the school has already opened.
The children in the village and the children sent by the family began to study with him.
The gentleman who taught was the exiled old man who had been sent before, and seeing that Xu Qiuliang was respectful in front of these people, no one dared to doubt the knowledge of these old men.
It's just that I didn't expect that there would be so many students before, and these old men were a little overwhelmed, so they asked them to choose some children and nephews from each family with good knowledge to teach together.
In the blink of an eye, it was spring ploughing time, and the people who went to buy cattle outside the city had not returned, Xu Yuanru had already raised more than 500 cows, and every family in the village had bought at least one cow.
Before the spring ploughing, people had already used cattle to clear the land, and people with cattle could be seen everywhere in the village.
